DG 12 page 08

Some days things just work out better than others, you know it? So this week I broke one of my own personal cardinal rules, in that I decided to upgrade my main operating system. Now sure, that’s not always a bad thing, but I tend to run on the premise that once I find a stable platform, I’m loath to touch it, preferring instead to have stability over the latest and greatest bells and whistles. Call me a creature of habit, call me old fashioned, but I like stability over fancy every time. Unfortunately, as I said before, I broke this rule because I needed to upgrade for a new app I got for my ipad. Yes, that’s counterintuitive to a great degree, and I wasn’t thinking clearly, but that’s what happened. So, when it came time to open up my Adobe programs and get things ready for today’s page…yeah, nothing worked! ARGH! In a fit of Hulk rage I lost my mind, tried several local fixes and then finally resorted to the internet for help. As it turns out, I’m not the only one who has had this problem, and I found a workable fix. Ultimately this will mean I have to upgrade to a newer version of Adobe (see previous angst about upgrading over stable) but that’s fine. For now, I’m back in business!

This week we’ve got a little field surgery and a little info on just the sort of guy we’re facing in Shooter. What appears to be a fairly normal guy did stand up to a pretty heavy blast a couple of pages ago, and now he’s shown us a pretty serious weapon that Dynagirl is already having trouble with. So…fun!

Also, my four year old has decided that of all the good goodies he might have from all across the sci fi worlds, he’d prefer rocket boots. ha! From the mouths of babes.

Yeah I can see next page Dynagirl saying something like “Y’know, ya could’ve mentioned that BEFORE he started shooting at me!” Not that it matters, I’m not sure she would’ve believed Shooter could hurt her anyway.

at the very least she would know it’s better to be safe than sorry and avoid the shot all together rather than just take it and hope it doesn’t hurt. now that she knows it can hurt her though shooter is in for a world of pain when she catches him…she did ask if he wanted to come quietly after all. my guess is that shooter is going to have both his arms broken beyond recognition as well as his legs. all they need is his head attached so he can tell them where to find what they are looking for and he is between her and her son and everyone knows that you stay out of the path between a mother bear and her cub. Kerri is so much more dangerous than a mother bear though…

Need a ride… um, she can fly? Seriously, she can fly faster than any motorcycle can go, and she could carry him with her pinkie and not notice the weight. Then she could melt the guns onto Shooters legs, just to make a point.

Yay, something that can actually hurt is good… but that something is now about to be on the receiving end of OUCHIE.

Kerri’s trying to play it subtle, which is why she’s not flying around in costume trashing half the city trying to find her son. Wouldn’t do for too many other people to find out she even has a son, or she’ll be dealing with kidnap attempts against him every week. The fact that she’s probably the most powerful person on the planet isn’t going to scare off everyone, it didn’t scare off whoever took her son in the first place.

Hmmm.. not sure if the bullets are per se faster… as that would exponentially increase impact power… which did not ‘seem’ to be the effect of the shot.
I think its more like the bullets particles are ionized/vibrated/energized to somehow penetrate more readily… rather than with more impact? A subtle difference yes, but perhaps an important one. Shooter could shot through an armored tank.. but it would Still only do the kind of structure damage a .357 magnum round could do. Albeit enough to kill a normal person, but destroy a vehicle…not likely unless he hit something Very vital like a fuel-line or holed the oil reservoir.
